USMNT star Christian Pulisic reportedly out until 2025 after sustaining calf injury with AC Milan

U.S. international Christian Pulisic is reportedly set to miss the rest of AC Milan's 2024 games due to a calf injury.

The U.S. men's national team star underwent a scan on Monday which revealed a low-grade tear and is set to undergo more testing over the next week. Pulisic is now expected to miss Wednesday's Champions League clash with Crvena Zvezda as well as Serie A matches with Genoa, Verona and Roma. The American was forced out in the 38th minute in Milan's loss to Atalanta Friday.

However, according to the Athletic, the hope is that he can return in time for the Supercoppa Italia on Jan. 3, when Milan will face Juventus in the semifinals in Saudi Arabia.

Pulisic has been fantastic for Milan this season, having provided eight goals and six assists in 20 appearances for the club in all competitions. Milan, though, have struggled a bit, sitting seventh in Serie A 12 points adrift of league-leading Atalanta.

The USMNT star has provided big moments this season, though, particularly in the Champions League, where he scored against Liverpool while also providing a key assist for Real Madrid. Entering Wednesday's Champions League match, Milan sit on nine points through five games, which has them five points clear of the unwanted 25th place in the new-look group stage.

As things stand, Pulisic is Milan's leader in both goals and assists, although he's tied in the latter category with Portuguese star Rafael Leao.

Fortunately for Milan, three of the four games Pulisic is expected to miss are at home, with the lone trip coming on Dec. 20 when they visit Verona. Given their spot in the standings, Milan aren't quite in must-win mode but are pretty close if they want to remain in the top four race.
